It was taught to me by a radical militant warrior vegetarian. I thought she was going to kill me for enjoying meat but she ended up only wanting to show me how good vegetarian Food could be. She succeeded.
So here it is.
Ingredients
3 Tablespoons ghee or vegetable oil
70 grams grated coconut
3 Tablespoons roasted sesame seeds
1 finger sized piece of ginger peeled and grated
3 cloves garlic, smashed and finely chopped
70 grams roasted peanuts
1 teaspoon red chilli powder
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 finely chopped onion
3 tomatoesroughly chopped
2 green chilli pepper finely chopped
500grams (1 pound) broccoli
Salt and pepper
Heat some water and steam the broccoli florets until just cooked. You should just be able to stick a fork into the side of the florets but there should be some resistance. Set aside.
Now heat a large frying pan over medium heat and add half the ghee or oil. Throw in the ginger, coconut, sesame seeds, peanuts, chilli powder and turmeric and cook for about three minutes stirring the ingredients about the pan with a spatula.
Set aside to cool.
In the same pan, add the rest of the ghee or oil and throw in the onions, tomatoes and chopped chilli peppers. Cook until the onion is transparent and just beginning to turn a light brown. Add the garlic and cook for afurther minute.
Throw in the broccoli florets and the spice mixture to heat through. The broccoli should be tender but you want to ensure there is a little resistance.
Add salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately.
This curry can be made in minutes. Teamed with a little saffron rice or naan bread chewy home made it is the perfect mid week family meal or side or main dish for an exotic dinner Party.
I would really like to know how you get on with this recipe. I have cooked it hundreds of times for hundreds of people. The important thing is that you try it as it really is amazing. Be sure to stop back and leave a comMent. Do you have any suggestions how this curry could be improved?
